Requesting Evidence of Certifications or Attestations

GitLab's SOC3 report is publicly available and can be found within the Community Package on our Customer Assurance Package webpage. The nature of some of our other external testing is such that not all reports can be made publicly available. Not only do these reports contain very detailed information about how our systems operate (which could make a potential attack against GitLab easier) but these reports also contain proprietary information about how these audit firms conduct their testing. For these reasons we can only share certain documentation with prospective customers that are under an NDA with GitLab or with current customers bound by the confidentiality of our customer agreements. The reports should not be shared with anyone other than the individual requestor(s).

Current or Prospective customers may request these through their Account Manager, or by using the Request by Email option on the Customer Assurance Package webpage.

GitLab Team Members should follow the Customer Assurance Activities workflow and use the option for "CAP Request".
